Werder, their low goals against tally is probably because they have a “they shall not score” attitude and a defensive coach who knows what he is doing...
Poor performance today but I suppose an undeserved win is still a win. Please, please, please Mr Carrick don’t pick Iheanacho in the match day squa...
@lenmasterman Your final paragraph explains perfectly why we will always struggle to make a strong and viable challenge at the top end of the leagu...
I don’t know why Iheanacho is selected to play when he contributes so little and is clearly not very interested. Surely Forss is a much better option...
@forever-dormo Dormo, a very good summary of the state of play at MFC at the moment. All I would say is that managing a business is also about mak...
Dormo, all good points and your comment about Iheanacho is I sure echoed by all of us. So far it seems to have been disastrous decision. I wonder wh...
KP, I agree that the Chairman won’t share his strategy with the fans and it is a shame. Many well-regarded companies share their strategy and vision ...
A lot of really excellent posts above on the shambles of the January transfer window and the resulting hugely disruptive effect on the team. The qual...
Philip, my guess would be that they go slowly but inexorably down the table. Tonight they looked a very poor team that would struggle to beat any oth...
@martin-bellamy 100% agree. It’s a mid-season upheaval that I suspect most teams would rather not have.
Yet another dismal defensive performance resulting in nil points, no bragging rights and no return to the play off positions. We deserved exactly wha...
Werder sums this transfer window up perfectly when he says in his post above “Boro may end up after this window with half a new starting XI and the ne...
@john-richardson Agree 100%.
I always thought that having a settled team that played together week in week out that was only changed when injuries, illness or an offer that really...
It’s very surprising that we are still in the top six having conceded 11 goals more than any other team in that group. 8 points from the last 6 games...
I have wittered on many times about the chronic inconsistency that seems to be endemic in MFC and the negative impact it has on achievement. The key ...
Just not good enough. No steel, no fight, no desire. Portsmouth were much hungrier which says a lot. Can’t see us making the playoffs if we carry o...
@forever-dormo I agree 100% and I posted something along the same lines some years ago when there was a deafening silence on news coming out of the...
Good point Len. I wonder how much say Carrick has in transfer decisions and whether he finds some of the decisions made both frustrating and maybe ev...
There’s a piece in the Daily Telegraph today suggesting that Crystal Palace have made an offer to Liverpool for Ben Doak.
In one of OFB’s earlier posts he summarised the effect of being a dedicated Boro supporter when he said “All the crowd around me knew what was going t...
@john-richardson I thought we had a first team coach who was one of England’s best defenders in his prime. Based on how well he has done coaching ...
Powmill is right we have no chance of a playoff position playing like we are. Can you imagine any of the top teams drawing a game after being 3-0 up ...
Left side of the defence still looks weak. If Engel is fit I would have preferred him to start.
I suppose a good point in the end having been behind three times but when a team which is purported to be a strong promotion contender scores three aw...
Werder, as you say another missed opportunity otherwise known as typical Boro. Tonight’s defeat was fairly predictable for those of us who have follow...
Great win yesterday with Azaz and LL as the outstanding players. Azaz makes the team tick and has a terrific eye for goal and LL on back on top form....
@paulinboro Do I detect you have a bit of concern that Boro may revert to type against Luton? Me too! I wonder how may other contributors to this...
@jarkko Brilliant. Really well done.
I posted not long ago bemoaning the ongoing chronic inconsistency in performances and Saturday was a perfect example of the problem. After two excell...
